(607NewsNow) — For over 20 years, Cayuga Marketplace has been a trusted platform connecting restaurants, spas, entertainment, and other local businesses with thousands of customers through exclusive, deeply discounted offers promoted via radio, email, and regional media.

If you own or manage a restaurant in the Ithaca, Cortland, or broader 607 region, here’s why joining Cayuga Marketplace is a smart move:

1. Amplified reach & visibility

Your offer will be seen by an active, engaged local audience across radio, email newsletters, and the Cayuga Marketplace website. That’s instant exposure to people who are ready to dine out.

2. High demand, low saturation

We keep offers limited in quantity and time—creating urgency and boosting redemption rates. Think of it not as a “discount,” but as a proven way to attract new customers and increase repeat visits without devaluing your brand.

3. Advertising value included

Every dollar in vouchers you sell comes back to you as full-value radio advertising through Cayuga Media Group. This makes your promotion a completely cash-free marketing strategy—one used regularly by more than 325 local businesses.

4. Built-in brand awareness

Your presence on Cayuga Marketplace isn’t just about sales—it’s about building recognition. The combination of digital and radio exposure keeps your name top of mind for months after your promotion.

5. It leads to cash, now and later

Our data shows that a $50 certificate typically brings in $87 in actual sales—plus most guests become repeat, full-paying customers. That means immediate revenue now, and loyal customers in the future.

Bottom line: Cayuga Marketplace is a proven, no-risk way to grow your customer base, increase your visibility, and generate both advertising and cash flow. Learn more at: www.CayugaMarketplace.com.
